Thanks for the video. You made it appears simple, but not easy. I've been very reluctant to ever try a cut out. I need to watch a few more videos, before I ever give it a try. How do you discuss the damage created by a cut out with the property owner? It seems like a touchy issue.

How do you communicate to the property owner what is about to take place and what his house/barn or shed will look like when your done? Do the property owners understand that when your done, there will be a nice hole in his/her building?

Yea, I say "I'm going to have to do some deconstruction to get to the bees. You'll be responsible for repairing the hole I'll be forced to make" That is the biggest concept to confer. The second biggie is "They will be back unless you seal this up tight."

Great video Dog! Learned a couple of good tips like the nifty blue gloves for better dexterity. I need to get some.

I empathize with you on the tip of nose sting. My first sting as a beek was the same situation - doing a cutout and my veil was falling back and nose was exposed. So I was yelling a warning to you on the video, but it was too late! :-DSo now I wear a baseball cap under my veil and the bill keeps the veil away from the face.
